Hauling the baby in a trailer
Hey all! So I have been literally getting back in the saddle this spring and since my son is now big/strong enough, we have been taking many long bike rides with me pulling him in the Burley. I am bummed that there isn't a cardio exercise listed in tracking for pulling a trailer behind a bike. Anyone have any insight as to…

What to pack?

My husband…

Dakota 5-0
So, I woke up yesterday to my husband excitedly telling me that he had registered us for the Dakota Five-O this fall. "The what?" If you're anything like me, I had no idea what he was talking about. Once I had had enough coffee to get out of bed, I went to my laptop and began researching. I found out that we would be…

New shoes = knee pain
Dear fellow pedalers, does this ever happen to you? I just got the women's Sidi Dominator 5 mtb shoes and I love them. They are really comfy to walk around in, but today, I took them on their maiden voyage and came home in quite a bit of discomfort. I am nervous that I may have placed my cleats in a bad position. They are…
